Ghosts VS Goddess :

Chapter Six : Face to Face


The nurse had her mouth on this boy's knee. When she pulled away, there was a trickle of blood and he was as pale as a sheet ; stiff as a board. She grabbed a roll of bandages and wrapped him up like a mummy. The nurse picked up her newly wrapped teen and dumped it in the closet. I slammed the door shut and my breath came to me short and raspy.

" Calm down Faith. Deep breaths. Now, think. " I racked my brain for all possible solutions. I could transform and bust her right now...Go get Danny...Get a teacher, as if...Or the easy way out, run.

" Hello? Dearie? You need something? " called a sweet voice from the other side of the door.

At that moment, I could feel my heart stop. From my list of well thought out solutions, I chose the ever popular, run. It was more like fly but it's all the same. I made my way to the girl's bathroom and cleaned up. I got a band-aid, that barely covered anything, from the main office and went back to gym. Conviently, all the classes were in the gym. My eyes searched the mob of red and white gym suits.

" Danny! Danny! " he was playing basketball and didn't hear me. " DANNY! "

His name echoed throughout the entire gym. Everyone paused and turned. Danny, who also turned, dropped the ball he held. He was cheeky pink.

" Eh-heh-heh...Sorry, continue with um, what ever you were doing. "

" What is it? " Danny growled.

" Okay, fine. I guess you don't want to know about the blood-sucking nurse that's mummifying kids and pushing them in a closet. " I crossed my arms and turned my back on him.

" Blood-sucking what! " said Sam.

" No no, it's nothing. "

" Mummifying kids? " Tucker followed after.

" Okay! I'm sorry, now spill. " Danny pleaded.

" I went to the nurse to get new bandages but when I got there, I opened the door and she had her mouth on this dude's knee. Then he got really pale, and he didn't resist either, and she mummified him and shoved him in the closet. " I let out in one breath.

" You sure this isn't from a scary movie? " Sam asked with a smirk on her face.

" We'll go check it out during lunch. " Danny announced.

-Danny's Point Of View-

Though Faith's description seemed unbelievable, we all decided to go take a look later at lunch. I did notice, as the day progressed, that students disappeared. It was probably one by one each time but by third period, half of class was gone. Mr. Lancer went on and on about how we should not be cutting class, that learning was a privilege. But at the age of 15, who cares? The whole class, what was left atleast, sighed when the lunch bell rang. Time to investigate. Faith had agreed to be the bait since she really did have an open wound. She said she'd come to haunt me if she got mummified. She stood akimo as she waited for me to promise to come to her rescue. That was when I noticed two bands, one light blue and the other black, on her left wrist.

" What do they say? " I asked when I spotted lettering.

" These? The blue one says BELIEVE and the other one says FAiTH. "

Turns out she bought them because one had her name on it, and the other one really spoke out to her. I invisibly entered the nurse's office with Faith. Tucker and Sam were spying from the window, again. A middle-aged woman in a white nurse's outfit sat at the desk. There was nothing out of line, she even had on gloves and her hair was pinned up in a neat bun. So this is the blood-sucking, kid mummifying nurse. She seems as harmless as a fly! The nurse looked up from her papers and smiled. Small wrinkles and creases formed around her eyes and mouth. She reminded me of someone's aunt or really young grandma. Faith, who was wearing her gym shorts, showed the nurse her wound. A spark of interest lit in the nurse's eye, and we both noticed.

" Oh hum. That's a deep cut. I'll get something to clean it out for ye.. "

Faith sat on the stool, swinging her legs, while the nurse rummaged in a drawer. I walked around, looking for any evidence but the only thing I discovered was the nurse's name. Mrs. Sunny. Even her name's nice! Mrs. Sunny came back with a bottle and cotton. It didn't look like anesthetic, but I was too far away to read the label.

There was a sharp intake of breath, " That stings. " Faith literally twitched at the pain.

I was expecting her to complain more but she was quiet. Plastered on her face was a look of panic yet ease. She had a smile on but there was a strange glint in her eye.

" Now you sit right there and wait for me to get some bandages lassie. " Mrs. Sunny directed.

Faith was motionless. Besides blinking and breathing, she was still. I haven't known her for long, but she has never been still, or silent, before. Now she had her eyes closed and seemed to be concentrating. When her lids lifted, it revealed glowing blue eyes. Now something is wrong.

" Hehe, trying to break free? " Mrs. Sunny's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

Faith glared at her, her left arm quivering at her side. Mrs. Sunny didn't notice the fact that Faith's eyes were blue.

I walked over to her side and whispered in her ear, " Do you need my rescuing now? "

She grunted, which I roughly translated as a no. The nursed neared with a giant roll of white bandages at hand. Faith's arm began to shake more violently and she had her eyes shut tight. The nurse watched with pure curiousity, as did I. Suddenly, her stiff fingers clenched into a fist. There was a loud gasp from the nurse.

" That, that's not possible. No one has ever broken out of my paralysis spell! " she wailed with her eyes wide open.

Faith's eyes didn't stop glowing. With one flick of her wrist, icicles the size of mini glaciers rose from the ground infront of Mrs. Sunny. They kept rising til they seperated the room in two. I changed back to being visible.

" What's going on? " I asked Faith.

There was no answer, just a whole lot of mumbling.

" Huh? "

Once again, mumbling, and she was swinging her arm like crazy. She began to point continuosly at the drawers. It was as if something important was there.

" You want me to look in the drawers? "

She began to nod vigorously and her eyebrows shot up in a yes, but I didn't reach the drawers. Mrs. Sunny smashed through the ice wall.

" Ye be one special lassie eh. "

Her voice, her accent, had changed. A shadow lurked behind the piles of shattered ice. Faith finally spoke, " Whoo, I can talk! But I still can't move! "

" Ay, going ter be awhile til ye can. "

" I can't wait to get my hands on you. " Faith growled, with her arm in motion, as Mrs. Sunny stepped out.

She was no longer the pleasant nurse we saw minutes ago. Her gray-brown hair was flinging wildly around her. Her kind green eyes were blood red. Her fingernails, which were probably neatly cut before, grew to about 3 inches long. But she wore the same clothing. She started advancing towards Faith, who was still on the stool. Faith began spitting threats at Mrs. Sunny.

" I'm warning you! Back off! " she screamed.

Definitely time to go ghost. Just as I finished going ghost, Mrs. Sunny was about to slash Faith with her killer nails. I dashed to her rescue but she didn't need me.

" Get away from me right now. " Faith said with an eerie calmness.

An invisible force, that even I could not see, shot out from Faith. It pushed Mrs. Sunny back up against the wall and blew me back a few feet. What-How did she- How she did that will always be a mystery to me. Now, off her stool and in the air, she was facing Mrs. Sunny.

" If it's a fight ye be want'n, tis a fight ye'll get! " Mrs. Sunny roared.
